My Mom died of cancer.
My grandparents died of cancer.
My best friend died of cancer.
Many of YOU, Democrats and Republicans, have friends and loved ones who died of cancer.
Cutting cancer research is evil AF, and we should ALL agree on that. If we can't, we're cooked.

Pope Francis walked humbly, loved mercifully, and pursued justice with God – not just in word, but in deed.
He sought to heal a world too often fractured by hate.
I join people around the globe in mourning his loss, and honoring his memory.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
